ChatTTS is a text-to-speech model optimized for dialogue scenarios, supporting English and Chinese languages with fine-grained prosodic control. The open-source version on HuggingFace is a pre-trained model with 40,000 hours without SFT. It excels in conversational TTS and surpasses most open-source models in prosody. To prevent misuse, high-frequency noise was added during training. However, an […]

For $20, you can reproduce the GPT-2 (124M) model in llm.c in 90 minutes, even with a single GPU. llm.c efficiently utilizes model flops, and training on a single 8X A100 80GB SXM node costs around $20. There are ongoing optimizations for tuning training, which can lead to significant improvements. The model trained on 10 […]
Llama3-V has taken the spotlight by outperforming GPT3.5 and even GPT4 in certain benchmarks. This first-ever multimodal model built on Llama3, comes with the bonus of being trained under $500. The benchmarks speak for themselves, showcasing a 10–20% boost over the current SOTA model, Llava. What sets Llama3-V apart is its focus on understanding visual […]
The effects library includes Beams, Binarypath, Blackhole, BouncyBalls, Bubbles, Burn, and ColorShift. Beams create illuminating symbols across the canvas with various configurations. Binarypath decodes characters into binary form. Blackhole creates a warp effect consuming stars. BouncyBalls shows falling characters as balls. Bubbles form floating bubbles that pop. Burn ignites characters that burn up. ColorShift displays […]
Researchers at the University of Washington have developed an artificial intelligence system called “Target Speech Hearing” that allows users wearing headphones to focus on a specific speaker’s voice in noisy environments. This innovative system cancels out all other sounds and plays only the enrolled speaker’s voice in real time, even as the listener moves around. […]
In a recent blog post on Python’s functional features, the absence of support for tail recursion elimination (TRE) sparked a debate. The author defends their position by stating TRE is incompatible with Python’s helpful debugging tools, threatens code compatibility across different Python implementations, and is not essential for everyday programming. They assert that Python’s built-in […]
R supports two functional Object-Oriented Programming systems, S3 and S4, which are largely compatible but require users to navigate two distinct systems. The new S7 system aims to unify S3 and S4 to promote interoperability. Several commonalities exist among these systems, including reifying classes and achieving polymorphism through generic dispatching. Base R has integrated patches […]
In this web content, code snippets demonstrate how to set up an S3 bucket policy using AWS SDK for JavaScript. The code includes defining an S3 client, specifying bucket policy details, and sending a PutObjectAclCommand to AWS. This process ensures proper control and access permissions for files stored in the S3 bucket. No controversial information […]
For the past four years, orcas in European waters have been ramming and sinking luxury yachts, leaving scientists puzzled about their motives. Contrary to popular belief, it’s not about territory or aggression, but rather, it’s all about fun for the young orcas. Due to their ample free time and playful nature, these orcas have developed […]
Supernova explosions are more common than we think, with the possibility of radioactive debris reaching Earth every few million years. Recent studies show elevated levels of iron 60 in ancient sediment from two separate periods, indicating Earth was bombarded by supernova debris. This radioactive isotope, with a half-life of 2.6 million years, can only be […]
